Default Fox news

Seriously. Everytime I see a clip on the internet of the American Fox news, I'm amazed how retarded their reporters are. Tell me something, is Fox news a respected news organization in the US? Or do Americans think it's bullshit aswell? They always seem to talk about Europe as if it's run by either communists or fascists, there is (alot of) middle ground..

Examples:

Amsterdam is anarchy? Have they even been there?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKuJvYh6h9I
Weddings with more than 2 people? That's about as illegal as it gets over here, there's so much bullshit in this video it's not even funny.

Fox news is propaganda at a whole new level.

Fox news has always been a joke. Think of it like if HBO had a news channel. CNN was the most respected spot for news in America (on TV anyway). Sad thing is CNN has went downhill to the point it's getting almost as bad as Fox. Now they quote twitter feeds and Wikipedia without checking facts and call that journalism. It seems the only news organization with any class left is BBC and even they are going downhill.

The internet is good for a lot of things. Journalistic integrity is not one of them.

Fox News opened my eyes to the use of propaganda in our news. I was lucky because I visited America for a year and was able to experience a culture-shock rather than growing up in that environment. It is news for morons, but worse than that, it is news for uniting morons into a common malevolent train of thought, similar in method and material to that used by the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell's 1984.

Yes actually. He also owns Sky Television. Basically he is one of the few people who can be said to "own the media", there are about four others. They probably all play poker around a table once a month and discuss the next war.
